Subject: Cygwin64 ignoring /etc/passwd shell field?

Hi,

I've noticed after installing an update the Cygwin64 appears to ignore
the contents of the shell field in /etc/passwd.  I normally run
/bin/tcsh as my shell, and changing this field used to result in any new
login shells running tcsh.  Now it just runs bash regardless.

Has something changed?

- Jim
